What is Secret Feeds Ericaceous Mist 1 Litre? Secret Feeds Ericaceous Mist is a specialist ready-to-use foliar spray for ericaceous and acid-loving plants. Unlike a concentrated plant feed, you do not need to dilute it or add any water before use.
Why it works
- Which plants can I use Ericaceous Mist on? It is intended for suitable acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and pieris. These plants commonly grow in ericaceous compost when kept in containers and prefer acidic soil conditions when planted in the garden.
- How often should I mist ericaceous plants? As a general horticultural routine, apply approximately once every 1–2 weeks during active growth. Lightly and evenly cover suitable foliage rather than saturating it, and apply in the morning, evening or under dull conditions rather than in strong direct sunshine.
- The 1 Litre bottle The larger 1 litre bottle makes this version particularly useful for gardeners with several acid-loving plants, larger established specimens or substantial container displays.
